@archusr
How does it directly depend on polkit?

archusr commented on 2017-04-02 19:35

Dependency polkit appears to be missing.

@lmat
The backend is in the python3-threaded_servers package.

@lmat: The source array in the PKGBUILD contains the URLs, there is even a link on this page just above the "Add Comment" field.

I'm looking for the source of pacserve. There is a file referred to in the pkgbuild, pacserve-2016.tar.xz, but it doesn't appear to have the server source. Perhaps I'm overlooking something in that bundle?

@dangersalad: If it happens with python-3.5, this is to be expected since python3-threaded_servers still has its files under /usr/lib/python-3.4/
As python-3.5 has left testing only today, give Xyne some time to update his packages...

I am getting this error when trying to start pacserve

pacserve[10930]: /usr/sbin/python3: Error while finding spec for 'ThreadedServers.Pacserve' (<class 'ImportError'>: No module named 'ThreadedServers')

@Tempel
This is not a Pacserve error. The filename needs to be percent-encoded to produce a valid URL. Try "http://localhost:15678/pkg/?repo=extra&arch=x86_64&file=libsigc%2B%2B-2.4.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz" for example, with "+" replaced by "%2B".

Pacman does not properly encode the name before inserting it into the URL and so it fails because "+" represents a space in URL query strings.

This is not the first time that Pacman's lack of proper URL formatting has created a problem. Please create a ticket on the (Pacman) bugtracker.

Regards,
Xyne

Pacserve seems to have an issue with any file containing a + in the filename. During updates of libsigc++ and freerdp (version 1.2.0_beta1+20150302-1), "The requested URL returned error: 404".

or you can put this line in your ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf:
keyserver-options auto-key-retrieve

This will allow gpg to auto-import keys on demand.
